Safe streets, thinner wallets
Burglary is almost absent in De Leigraaf-De Steenderens: the figure sits at a fraction of the national median, and violence and property crime stay far below it too. Only vandalism lands exactly on the median. That yields a 9.4 for safety, earned across the full width of the pillar.
Wealth & income does not point one way. Property values stay below the median and the social assistance rate runs at over three times the national median, while the income spread sits almost exactly on it and vacancy is close to zero. So the 4.9 is not a summary verdict but a sum of opposing components.
The primary school is five hundred metres away, and that carries the 8.3 for families. The share of children here is in fact below the national median.
